The BBC is actively transphobic, and regularly publishes transphobic content that stirs up hate. Given that I admin two trans heavy instances, I won't be federating with them

    It's pretty widely known and has been an issue for a long time. It's not terribly hard to google for.

    I've also been looking. I see other websites complaining, but I want to see actual BBC content that's inflamatory etc, as I can't find anything. It must exist, but so far, can't find it.

    "Many people have blocked the BBC for posting transphobic content that is harmful to trans folk"

    "Hey, can you please share some of that harmful content?"

    Well honestly, if it can't be sourced, is it even true? I'm all for burning a media outlet at the stake. But, I'd want to see evidence first. If it can't be found, it's not true for all intent and purpose.

    There are links to various articles about it in this discussion tree. You're either not looking hard for sources, or you're being disingenuous. I hope it's the former, but experience tells me it's the latter.
